In this day and age the only thing I would like to see from a sysadmin re lilo is knowledge that once upon a time there was such a thing. And if he's never heard of it that wouldn't faze me AT ALL. If we have a lilo host on our network (which I doubt) and a new sysadmin runs into it I'll tell him 5 minutes on Google gives all the info he needs to know. Or he could look on our wiki and find the ancient lilo page, which is right next to the Solaris and FreeBSD-6 bootloader pages. Some things you really can lump in the "I know how to Google that!" category. > > Reinier > On 13-6-2013 0:22, Anselm Lingnau wrote: >> Ingo Wichmann wrote: >> >>> OK, that means we expect candidates have used lilo and syslinux recently, >>> so they know their most important config file parameters. >> That is not what *I* said.
